We are currently on an RV trip that may top out at 10,000 miles. We have made no reservations and we have over-nighted or camped at nearly a different spot every night - some with hookups, some without hookups - as dictated by availability where we found ourselves at the end of the afternoon each day. Some days we had the sun, some days we did not. Some of the spots we wound up in did not have a enough room for big RV's with gobs of roof square footage - whether a MH, or a FW, or a TT.
For this type of RV travel you need maximum self-containment in as compact a unit as you can get by in. IMHO, an all-electric refrig would not fit travel like this. An absorption refrigerator is the only way to go for maximum flexibilty .... and when built with good quality and properly installed/vented ... they come pretty close to amazing.
